Harry Warner replied to Eric Heller's discussion Amberg--LTA in the group Amberg"It's surprising how many missile sites were around in the ’60's.

Eric,
I saw your message to CSM Cablay. He hasn't had any activity since joining, and think he may have made an error on his e-mail address when he registered and can't log on. Try this and see if you can contact him: conrad.r.cablay3.civ@mail.mil
He had too many "L's" in mil.

Eric,
You might be disappointed visiting Knox, it's not the Armor Center anymore. Everything moved to Benning.

- I'm now a Captain in the Kentucky Department of Corrections. Drill Sgt. hunter and I had the 1st platoon, I think Mayberry and Costello had 2d and Morales and duran had 3d. Man that was a long time ago it seems, but at times just like yesterday.

- I went from Ft.Knox to 2ACR Regt. Hqs. Then Ft. Polk, U.S. Army Recruiting command in California, then back to Ft. Knox. I retired a SFC in Sept. of 99. I ran into Costello at Ft. Knox about 10-12 years ago and have not seen him after that. I attended ANCOC with a few of the Drills from B/5C/1. Great to hear from you,I hope all is well?

- Not to discourage you, but my dad spent about 11 years off and on of his 29 year active career as MSG before he got 1SG and finally SGM.

- Congrats on making MSG, Eric!

This was the third design of the 2d Cavalry DUI, worn from 1924-1931. The sharp points on the ends of the bottom scroll again called for a redesign.
